Australian AIP GEN 3.4 5.14.6.4:
Take-off Clearance Cancellation:
ATC: (aircraft call-sign) HOLD POSITION, CANCEL, I SAY AGAIN CANCEL TAKE-OFF (reasons)
Pilot: HOLDING (aircraft call-sign)
to stop a take-off in emergency conditions note: Used only when an aircraft is in imminent danger:
ATC: (aircraft call-sign) STOP IMMEDIATELY (repeat aircraft call-sign) STOP IMMEDIATELY (reason).
Pilot: STOPPING RUNWAY (number) (aircraft call-sign)
(my addition of the unwritten and assumed parts i.e. "(aircraft call-sign)")
The second one seems a pretty gutsy call to me. ATC of course don't have access to a particular flights V1 or ASI so I'd have to say that the ambiguity involved in the US terminology is less distracting to an aircrew although it is possible that it lacks the feeling of urgency that the word STOP invokes. I suppose that the tone of the controller's voice and any amplifying reasons stated will correct for this however.
